rather_o than_o charge_v it_o upon_o ourselves_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n which_o man_n usual_o lay_v the_o blame_n upon_o either_o upon_o god_n the_o devil_n or_o else_o upon_o other_o man_n 1._o upon_o god_n and_o so_o do_v adam_n the_o woman_n who_o thou_o give_v to_o be_v with_o i_o she_o give_v i_o of_o the_o tree_n and_o i_o do_v eat_v 3.12_o gen._n 3.12_o thus_o he_o lay_v the_o blame_n

never_o to_o be_v blame_v though_o the_o devil_n be_v sometime_o to_o be_v blame_v the_o apostle_n james_n tell_v you_o that_o god_n tempt_v not_o man_n 1.13_o james_n 1.13_o and_o the_o devil_n sometime_o be_v not_o to_o be_v blame_v 1.14_o james_n 1.14_o because_o thy_o own_o nature_n be_v a_o tempter_n to_o thou_o so_o the_o same_o apostle_n declare_v that_o every_o man_n be_v tempt_v when_o he_o be_v draw_v away_o of_o his_o own_o lust_n and_o entice_v lust_n conceive_v sin_n the_o devil_n may_v be_v the_o father_n to_o beget_v sin_n but_o the_o flesh_n be_v the_o mother_n which_o

some_o there_o be_v who_o will_v lay_v the_o blame_n of_o their_o sin_n upon_o man_n and_o thus_o do_v aaron_n when_o moses_n chode_n he_o for_o his_o idolatry_n 32.22_o exod._n 32.22_o thou_o know_v

not_o serve_v his_o turn_n for_o god_n charge_v the_o sin_n upon_o he_o nothing_o be_v more_o natural_a then_o to_o excuse_v and_o hide_v our_o sin_n 31.33_o job_n 31.33_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o man_n cover_v their_o transgression_n as_o adam_n if_o thy_o heart_n be_v not_o in_o the_o fault_n example_n of_o sin_n will_v rather_o provoke_v to_o detestation_n than_o imitation_n other_o there_o be_v who_o will_v lay_v the_o blame_n upon_o the_o badness_n of_o the_o time_n whereas_o if_o thou_o have_v not_o a_o bad_a heart_n thou_o will_v be_v good_a in_o bad_a time_n if_o thou_o have_v a_o good_a heart_n the_o worse_a the_o time_n be_v the_o better_a thou_o will_v be_v and_o therefore_o lie_v the_o blame_n of_o thy_o sin_n where_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v upon_o the_o

1.21_o gen._n 1.21_o so_o that_o some_o thing_n may_v be_v place_v before_o which_o may_v be_v do_v after_o and_o some_o thing_n after_o which_o may_v be_v do_v before_o as_o for_o instance_n you_o

five_o year_n after_o the_o birth_n of_o isaac_n i_o only_o mention_v this_o to_o show_v the_o consistency_n of_o this_o answer_n with_o other_o place_n of_o scripture_n to_o which_o may_v be_v add_v what_o judicious_a calvin_n have_v to_o solve_v this_o doubt_n that_o though_o it_o be_v say_v that_o noah_n be_v six_o hundred_o year_n old_a when_o he_o be_v but_o five_o hundred_o and_o eighty_o
